The periodontal-medical risk relationship
1MCP-Hahnemann University of the Health Sciences, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Abstract:
The evidence of a periodontal-medical risk warrants serious consideration. As dentists increase their knowledge about the link between periodontal disease and other systemic diseases, they will be able to prevent periodontal disease in more patients as well as develop better treatments for the disease. It is important for physicians and dentists to improve their collaboration to provide better patient care. Physician awareness of the increased risk for dental complications in certain patients will benefit their patients' overall well-being.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin create...
